I have had a flat battery on a couple of occasions recently ( self inflicted working on the car wit the doors open etc ) but so many times recently I fear I've knackered my battery irrevocably , and as I use my van for Hillwalking in some remote parts of wales and the peak district I thought it would be a good idea to have one of these portable battery packs that can start your car in an emergency (they also have USB ports for charging phones etc ) I'm not on about the big Jump starting packs that are on wheels with a trolley type handle The ones i remember seeing at the classic car show were pretty compact - therefore easily portable and stowable on board
It will obviously be a portable backup / spare as I am replacing the existing battery anyway
anyone recommend one? it needs to be able to start a V6 diesel as distinct from a 4 pot petrol
its somewhat annoying as my vehicle has a leisure battery but I cant get at it to start the car without removing the drivers seat as it sits under there , and no it wont come out sideways either!
